How is it? I'm sitting staring at my computer screen, contemplating where to start. This is quite mind provoking, as I normally pride myself on being able to design.

More great stuff. Your team is focused on one thing and that's Student centered learning.
Listening to what the student is saying with their body language is Oh so very important. Good on you for picking this up. Stay connected to this communication wave-length as this is the key that engages the learning process. It has been said that we communicate only 27% using words, the rest is through the language of the body and mind. Show me in writing where theory needs to be learnt in the class room? And I'll show you an administrator. Give the students freedom to learn and us freedom to teach so that this learning may happen.
Cheers

So what learning might happen if? A good opening question, so what's in a concept? An idea that may or may not work or be of value, yet is because you have made the concept overt. Well that's my interpretation, so I highlighted the word concept and looked it up... Continue reading

I'm posting this but will be working on it later as it's really in draft form still. I have been playing around with Prezi in an attempt to compose a framework that I personally could use.

Have you read your gmail lately?
I sent you a link to an excellent bit of research on a teacher that is a constructivist and uses student centered learning in his daily classroom teaching. This for we is one of those light on moments.

Steve!
Another good one. You have made this blog post come alive. Rather than the written word you have exposed another side, human I'm thinking of, you as a teacher. In you learning this, newly created content, you have pathed the way for your students and fellow teachers to follow. A good examlar for all. We need more of these that might then allow others to converse.
Another step in your journey towards...
